The right base for a wood top
Butcher block is the most forgiving countertop to install over stock cabinets: it cuts on site, fastens from below, and moves with the seasons. What it needs underneath is what these bases provide: level, framed boxes at the standard 24″ depth and 34-1/2″ height, which lands a 1-1/2″ butcher block top at the classic 36″ counter height.
To be clear about the offer: we sell the cabinets; the butcher block itself comes from your countertop supplier.
Planning a butcher block run
Wood tops fasten with screws through the cabinet top stretchers in slotted holes that let the wood move, a standard install any handy owner can do, which is half the appeal. Around the sink, choose a sink base from our sink page and seal the cutout thoroughly. Deep drawer bases pair especially well under butcher block for a workbench-style prep zone.
Every base type we make is below, by door style and finish.

Frequently asked questions
Do these base cabinets work with butcher block countertops?
Yes. Every base cabinet in this collection is built to the standard 24-inch depth and 34-1/2-inch height. Lay a 1-1/2-inch butcher block slab on top and you land at the classic 36-inch counter height, same as any other countertop material.
Do you sell the butcher block itself?
No. We supply the base cabinets; the wood top comes from your countertop supplier or a lumber yard of your choice. This keeps you free to pick the species, thickness, and finish you want.
How is butcher block fastened to the cabinet boxes?
Wood tops are typically secured with screws driven up through the corner blocks or mounting brackets inside the cabinet box. Because wood moves with seasonal humidity changes, slotted or figure-8 fasteners are often used to allow slight movement without cracking the top.
Are these RTA cabinets strong enough to support a heavy wood countertop?
Absolutely. Once assembled, these cabinets are engineered and tested to hold 500 pounds. A butcher block top is well within that range, and the framed box construction gives you a solid, level surface to fasten into.
Which base cabinet types do I need for a full kitchen run?
A typical layout combines standard door-and-drawer bases for general storage, drawer bases where you want pull-out access, sink bases at the sink location, and corner bases to handle right-angle turns. This collection covers all of those configurations.
Can I use a farm sink with these cabinets and a wood top?
Yes. The Farm Style Sink Base is designed to accommodate apron-front sinks up to 27 inches wide and 10 inches tall. You would then cut the butcher block around the sink opening on site, which is straightforward because wood is easy to trim with standard woodworking tools.
